Lat/Long

[Wcmille]

What units are the lat-long in the code? Are they degrees? Are they radians?

If you're looking to calculate lat/long, you can use trigonometry. If you have lat/long, give us the code and we can determine it for you.

Thanks. To do that, I needed to know whether lat long is radians, degrees, or something else.

For example, if I do Math.Sin(lat), will that give a correct number, or do I need to give some kind of conversion first?

Are methods provided to convert lat/long into pretty-printed strings with degrees, minutes, and seconds?

Lat/Lon is in degrees, so you'll need to convert to radians before using them in the trig functions.

I *think* I saw a formatter function somewhere in the KSP assemblies, but I don't remember where.  I rolled my own for MAS, since it's easy.

Thanks, @MOARdV . How do the signs work? Is North and East positive with South and West negative?

Yes.  N/E is positive, S/W negative.
